What to upgrade?

[sumiwarrior]

Hello. I want to upgrade my PC to be able to get more frames in battlefield 1. I have a 450 dollar budget. I was wondering whether to upgrade my 6600k to a 6700k or to upgrade my gtx 970 to a gtx 1070. Which do you think I should do?

 

PC spec:

6600k

Corsair h100i aio liquid cooler

Azrock Z170 motherboard

16gb ddr4 2400 ram

gtx 970

750 watt corsair psu (im not sure which one)

480 GB SSD

2 TB HDD

NZXT h440 mid tower

Your GPU is the weakest link, A 1070 would made a beautiful addition to your rig and give you the extra frames your looking for.

GPU and that build will be good for many years.

Ok thanks so much.

Upgrade gpu, your cpu is already good enough. Might think about upgrading the ram. 16 gigs isn't the best, I play BF1 using 32 gigs, and I don't memory problems.

I generally find that my ram is consistently under 60% while gaming but ill think about it. Thanks

RAM is not your bottleneck here, probably won't be for at least another couple of years, so don't worry about it.
The GPU could certainly benefit an upgrade. Other than that, the CPU is perfectly fine, there won't be much, if any, performance benefit upgrading the CPU.
But, really, if you're looking for a higher framerate, lower the graphic settings a bit. It's free. Do you really need AA cranked to the max on a fast paced game? It's not like you're gonna stop and look at the "jaggies" that you probably can barely even see to begin with. AAx2 is generally more than good enough on a high resolution, high PPI monitor.
